Living frantically Trying to manage my manic need To keep up fantasies American dream vanity I keep what can't be seen My damaged seams If I don't show that skin It may vanish like tannery But blending in instead leads To panicking To every candid happenstance Against my planned conceit In reality Living concealed is insanity Being human comes with wounds Accrued from the usual calamity No ones immune don't refute it It's mutually earned Yourself and others Hard truths are duly discovered Bruised and battered You move forward To get through the dust storm to cover Until other tribulations emerge Learn to fail or fail to learn Wear scars like brail to interpret Your hurts Each one reads that courage occurred.

Go Far
Forgive yourself For you live with yourself Dismiss past tenseness And live for the now You have a perfectly Permissive disposition Exquisite distinction Individuality to fulfill in an instant Start to tell your heroes tale With your past avails to Passages to brave passed Himalayas to scale Castaway at seas to sail Gail force breeze wails Unyielding terrain Unequal travail Blazing desert plains Hypothermic glacial nights Accolades amass at you lap With each flag, each sight You keep riding Knightly dragons slain Castles made and break the same As you blaze with no blazon displayed Anomalous you remain Stardust rebond You belong across the sky You've already come so far.
Steadfast And Yet Relaxed
We don't know our own strength The toll we take From toes, legs, torso Abdo, throat, face The whole framework overstrained Over-paced behavior Whole array misshapen Til it erodes away Slowly frayed, flayed daily From greed and shame We retain Each bait we proceed to take Facebook, tweets, dm's Social media snakes Can leave a cheap Fleeting remark a screen away Harming the cohesion Our weave like yarn texture Our coat of arms tears apart Like polyester Mustn't fester Over the sorry folly of others The effort to judge Is much easier than to serve So rest assured And set forth the steps towards Your bettering incrementally Beckon those against that course.
Our Home
Why do we force the course, Of source, performing "reformance", Against the forms of nature, Natural organisms, Transforming terraform, Our born worldly existence, Insistent on controlling it, As if it's opposition, Consistent resistance is causing us, Chronic sickness, Dismissing authentic growth, Oblivious to it's ripple effects, It'll be a bitter pill instilled, When it comes time for swallowing, Our life energy starved, From gobbling up with gluttony, We'll swallow it like arsenic, Poison, toxic biotics, What it causes, Honestly we're probably already absorbing, Absolving all of us, We got the disease of disregard, The earth wants us, To be a part of it in all of it's art, Heartily we must accept, Our connection, Acknowledging our extension, And pledge to better our collective residence.
Tilting At Windmills
We're still tilting at windmills For the thrills it rekindles Acting from will, attacking at will The hilt reveals the willful Without it victimhood Fear materializes This fear of deprivement This us or them mindset If not triumphant I'm nothing I can't live without the gumption The harvest is my bounty Without I become stunted A runt scrounging While they exceed and outreach Without me, I must release cowardice Unsheath and joust steel Mount my steed for honor, Democracy and valor Against hyprocrisy, can't you see Pronounce, avow you serfs Usurpers, I'm the rightful colonel Your service falls in accordance Divide and conquer over the course Of history I'll be rejoiced in With boisterous applause Marble carvings hoisted along The roads I've tarred Paved with blood sweat and heart When it's all said and done And I've become omnipotent Above all else At all others hinderance It may finally dawn on me My own inferiority complex Lead to encompassing conflict And I'm left still uncontent All I had to do was self-accept.
No Pretensions
Got to negate the case To chase what I'm capable of Whats attainable Straining worst case scenario Hysteria Best case expectations Is just a waste as well Imagination does not straight foretell I'll navigate the netscape Gladly stake henceforth Furthermore with contentment More important than moving towards Success or prevention No pretending, no exceptions No head held intention Of excellence or less then Just moving in the direction Of reverence and ethics Lament pretensions Need no end to begin.
You’re The Balance
Nothing is forever Impermanence is the only Certainly doesn't serve to be Immersed gripped in holding It isn't worth it There was never a time it was perfect There surely won't be Let your imperfections surface You're doing nothing wrong You haven't lost some charm Some spotless quality To be everything to everybody As you shouldn't be You are who you are Flaunt it unguarded In stark self homage It connects us all Whether we're aware of it or not Subconscious, unconcious Authentic embodiment bonds us We all long to shout it So don't doubt it or shroud it Be proud with the gifts You have to give boundless It balances our assorted Absorption distortion Against majority proportion Enforcement What lay dormant before You were contorted With what others told you Deemed more important Your core knows for sure That tingle in your pours When you adoringly feel Love for self be restored
Earnest and Honest
Penchant for pent up Aggression and resentment Hell bent on penitence For offenses and transgressions Against ones ends A heavy debt, a dead load tolled Over the shoulder bones Holding it like the mythoic globe Of vulnerability no ability to surpass Atlas grasp Passion and valiance alas Do not reveal the path Heeled in crap, so we don't take crap Sad we've got it backwards We only take it because We actually just make it up Theres actually no atlas task at hand No mandatory command Branded or demanded It's our own stand-alone mandate Cultivated from past shame Conditions fabricated Gradually from pleasure and pain Dramatic intimidation Placing self against status Competition established With differences and classes That realistically just doesn't matter Rather be free and modest Than be the coolest or the smartest Consumer of the products That marginally boost our own regard Or be the ruler of commerce and audience All of that Harness total dominance of laws Like the magna carta offered We're not honorable all days In all ways Caught up in small losses and gains Not comparable to what others obtain The sway of time will long wash away Your made up doppelganger But it can't knock reality Of living earnestly and honestly always.
To Whom DO You Identify?
People of these times Reside to blind allegiances With the we vs them mentality Proud believes in The doubt of our cohesion In ever increasing tediums In total disagreement To every conceived feature Of the competing impedance Intolerant to intolerence A bit oxymoronic if honest But don't acknowledge it It's a harsh pill to swallow When vilifying is justified As long as you side with me Then we are the victimized We have piety In our beliefs we are righteous So keep the rivals needs At arms reach, our of sight With upbringing and conditioning It made us the winning team Either inferior or superior We clearly have the needs To be carelessly free And to live a life of glee Even if I don't recognize We need them to identify me.
Scaling Mountains
Difficult issues come up Tough stuff but It's a matter of opinion What is considered cumbersome What holds as momentous Isn't unanimous So why we waste our stamina Adding up damages with an abacus Flattering our judgements Undertaking solutions with sledgehammers To crack a nut Statutes and acts established but In backwards fashion Actions and practices reactive Don't have to act indifferent To have acceptance impassive Sadly bad things happen Must we act so indignant And dignified to gratify Individual resistance And erase and tear up Like grammatical errors Trying to categorize Like the encyclopedia britannica Pulling hair right out of our scalps To control outcomes But how come we make ant hills Insurmountable mountains.
